[QUOTE="morpheus_xx, post: 1254034, member: 48495"] There are 2 different approaches when it come to media browsing: [LIST=1] [*]Based on the MediaLibrary on (database of MP2-Server). [LIST] [*]It supports all kind of metadata (so called MediaItemAspects, can be extended by plugins) [*]Importing media items is done on server [/LIST] [*]"Local view" [LIST] [*]Media detection is done by same plugins (MetadataExtractors) as on server side's import process. Difference is, that they are used in "fast" mode. [*]Fast mode skips some expensive tasks (like thumbnail creation or online lookups) [*]Browsing and extraction happens in the MP2-Client [*]Result is not cached, due to metadata extraction browsing is significantly slower [/LIST] [/LIST] For the 1st approach based on DB we provide different ways: [LIST=1] [*]Movie, Series, Video, Images are using filters to show only related media items. [*]The "Browse Media" shows all configured media sources (settings) and there content as subfolders. Here still DB metadata is read, so it is fast. This mode on they other hand does not provide all the extended metadata as the specialized views (Series, Movies). But you have to folder structure in return. [/LIST] When you are in "Browse Media", you can open the context menu and chose "Switch to local view". This will then use client side browsing and extraction as described above in point 2. I hope this makes some internals clearer. [/QUOTE]
